Cotswolds

Cotswolds is a range of rolling hills rising from the meadows of the upper River Thames to an escarpment the River Severn valley in South West England. The Roman Empire built villas such as Chedworth, settlements such as Gloucester, and paved roads such as the Celtic Fosse Way, and it became prosperous from the wool trade during the Middle Ages due to its sheep breeding industry (its name means "sheep enclosure in rolling hillsides" in Anglo-Saxon). By 2016, the Cotswolds was 139,000 residents.
